Given the many different excellent explainations, its no wonder why jig/float fishing has become so popular amongst all levels of expertise. The learning curve is so short relative to the bump bump bump gulp! But my original question remains! If a beginner goes out amongst more experienced successfull anglers, how many fish does he miss in a given trip? Given everything else is equal! Or, another way of asking the same question would be, how many fish does an experienced angler miss during a typical day?
